Economics has long been plagued by three Original Sins: the belief that only physical matter constitutes resources, that scarcity defines our world, and that money is an accurate measure of our standard of living.
In contrast, the new economics of human flourishing asserts that true wealth lies in knowledge, that human beings with the freedom to innovate transform scarcities into abundances, and that time—not money—is the most meaningful measure of prosperity.
This presentation is based on the award-winning book, "Superabundance: The Story of Population Growth, Innovation, and Human Flourishing on an Infinitely Bountiful Planet."
Through clear, quantifiable insights, the presentation makes complex economic concepts engaging, accessible, and memorable. It blends evidence-based optimism, a lucid exposition of ideas like time prices, and a passionate defense of human potential. By shifting perspectives from scarcity to abundance, the presentation uses historical data and forward-looking insights to inspire confidence in humanity’s ability to thrive.
The New Economics of Human Flourishing is the antidote to irrational pessimism.
